Aries Electronics, Inc. Sockets for ICs, Transistors 36-3572-10

The 36-3572-10 is a Zero-Insertion-Force DIP test socket designed for quick and efficient device insertion and removal. It accommodates devices with pin centers ranging from 0.300 to 0.600 inches and supports various pin counts. The socket features a quick-release handle that swings down to open contacts for easy device placement, automatically returning to a closed position upon release. Constructed from black UL 94V-0 glass-filled polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) for standard applications, it is also available in high-temperature polyetheretherketone (PEEK). The handle is made of stainless steel, and the contact materials include beryllium copper with various plating options, ensuring durability and reliability. With a contact current rating of 1 amp, an insulation resistance of 1000 MΩ minimum, and a dielectric withstand voltage of 1000 VAC, this socket is suitable for a wide range of applications. It has a lifecycle rating of 25,000 to 50,000 cycles and operates effectively within a temperature range of -85°F to 221°F for standard plating, with higher limits for other plating options. The retention force is rated at 55g per pin, making it a robust choice for testing and prototyping.
